So Holmgren has a 3 year expectation level on creating a team that does what? Wins, is "good", contending? What's this mean?
I don't think you can blow up an entire system and scheme and change out a roster and win in 2 seasons.
SD:
Homie should quit lurking and post more often.
He went from a position that Colt was the untouchable little pet Monkey too play em until he drops or we can find someone better.
Well alrighty then .
Nothing like feeding the peeps just what they want to hear.

hardly my fault and its really no surprise your one dimensional checkerboard view of the world is limited to whats in front of you , while the concept of an end game seems like Euclidean geometry as explained to a cave man.
Homie said a hell of a lot more than your limited initial question focussed on part of which as follows .
"""Holmgren said the silver lining in the high ankle sprains suffered by Delhomme and Wallace is the opportunity to evaluate McCoy. The Browns figure to draft high again and have a shot at one of the many blue-chip quarterbacks coming out, including Washington's Jake Locker, Arkansas' Ryan Mallett and potentially Stanford's Andrew Luck.
"That's how I'm looking at it," he said. "I didn't want him to play, but then we wouldn't know. I mean, really know. He started off fine and I trust that we can continue."
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about McCoy's performance in Pittsburgh, Holmgren said, was that he barely got any reps in training camp or preseason -- and almost none with the starters.

Colt McCoy against the Steelers "didn't do anything in the game that made me [shake my head and say] 'oh boy,'" said Mike Holmgren (watching McCoy during training camp). "On the contrary, I said, 'that's good. that's good.'"
"It's not like he had all this wealth of practice experience to rely on," he said. He kind of got thrown into the frying pan."
What's more, McCoy wasn't exactly throwing to an All-Pro cast of receivers. The unit has struggled, and both Josh Cribbs and Mohamed Massaquoi were knocked out in the first half with concussions. McCoy will have Cribbs back against the Saints, but probably not Massaquoi.
"It's part of the three-year plan," said Holmgren.
"If we can answer the quarterback question -- and I haven't said we answered it -- that's a huge deal. The other guys aren't as difficult."""""
The bolded big stuff just ignore it , ya know forest and trees and little unimportant stuff to close notice, and can't possibly be key to executing the three year plan.
